	<h2>General news</h2>
	<p>
		I went to my mother&apos;s place to help clean again, seeing as I finished up my work for the week yesterday, aside from one discussion post that would have to wait.
		My mother mentioned it being Vanessa&apos;s birthday today.
		Doh!
		Why&apos;d I think her birthday was on the tenth of the month?
		I&apos;ve been under so much stress lately that it must&apos;ve gotten to me.
	</p>
	<p>
		At work today, a coworker referred to one of the new hires by name.
		I&apos;m hard of hearing though, so I double checked what they&apos;d called him so I&apos;d learn the right name.
		They confirmed his name, then went on to tell me he&apos;s gay, he&apos;s single, and he watched this one television show that&apos;s geared toward little girls.
		(This show will remained unnamed due to its proprietary status.)
		I didn&apos;t think I&apos;d care about what television shows he watches, but it actually told me something interesting, besides the fact that he&apos;s a regular Joe that doesn&apos;t care about media licensing.
		It told me he&apos;s not one of those macho men; he&apos;s probably not into sports or the like, but is instead at least partly on the feminine side of things.
		That&apos;s not surprising, seeing as we gays have mixed brains, so we&apos;re like that.
		But it&apos;s something I think I&apos;d look for in a partner.
		I hear very manly gay males exist.
		Supposedly, they&apos;re highly in-demand in the gay community, partly because gays like men (so they want men that are very much men) and partly because such manly gay men are rare.
		I can&apos;t help but wonder why a feminine gay male would want a masculine gay man as a partner though.
		Why would you want a partner with interests you find strange and unappealing?
		I think I would want a partner who is at least somewhat feminine.
		One of the major advantages to gayness is being able to find a partner with more in common with you than otherwise possible.
		That said, I&apos;m not looking at this guy as a serious dating option.
		Simply put, school takes up all my time and I don&apos;t have any to spare on dating.
		I&apos;m probably going to remain single for at least almost three years so I can finish up my degree.

		I responded to a student in the assigned discussion that responded to me first, but I still haven&apos;t finished the final post that I actually need to make.
		I&apos;ll have to do that tomorrow.

			Oh, definitely.
			Every system has its flaws, including bugs and security holes.
			I can&apos;t say I know a tonne about OS X, but a particularly scary security hole was found in a highly-trusted Linux component vital to any Linux server not too long ago.
			You probably heard about it, it was all over the Internet for a while; they named the bug Heartbleed.
			It compromised all sorts of sensitive data, including encryption keys and passwords.
			And like you said, there are exploits to gain root access.
			These are commonly heard of on Android, which is a variant of Linux as well.
			Trust me, I&apos;m not saying Linux or other non-Windows systems are without their problems.
			I&apos;m just saying that this particular solution, that of randomising where things are placed in memory, doesn&apos;t seem like it provides any real security at all.
			If Microsoft is working on better isolation as you say, that would be the actual solution to the problem, not this randomisation.
